Title: "Peter Obi to Tinubu: The People Are Suffering—Where Have the Billions Gone?"
The air crackled with tension as Peter Obi, the man who once stood toe-to-toe with power, leaned forward in his chair. The glow of the Arise TV studio lights reflected in his intense gaze. His voice, steady but laced with an unmistakable urgency, sliced through the silence like a blade.
"He said he would continue from where the previous government stopped," Obi began, his tone almost mocking. "And he is doing well. He met $1 at about N400 and took it to N1,500; he is doing fantastically what he promised."
A nervous chuckle rippled through the audience, but Obi wasn’t smiling. His words carried the weight of millions of Nigerians gasping under the burden of soaring prices, vanishing hope, and empty plates. The fuel subsidy—once a shield, albeit a flawed one—had been stripped away, its remnants lost in the shadows of policy decisions made behind closed doors.
But where had the money gone?
"Where are the savings?" Obi’s voice was now a clarion call, echoing beyond the studio walls and into the homes of those struggling to buy a loaf of bread. "What has been done with the trillions saved from the removal of fuel subsidies? Where is the accountability?"
The silence in response was deafening. Somewhere in Aso Rock, perhaps, an advisor squirmed, a minister fidgeted, and the corridors of power held their breath.
The people, however, did not. They took to their screens, their keypads clicking like a storm brewing. Comments flooded social media—some in anger, some in support, but all demanding answers.
The streets of Nigeria do not forget. And tonight, under the glare of the cameras and the weight of Obi’s words, the question lingered like a specter:
Where has the nation's wealth disappeared to?
